The scene unfolded outside a business called White Cap Construction in the 4600 block of Poplar Level Road.

The Jefferson County sheriff’s office and Louisville Metro Police Department are on the scene, with LMPD now investigating.

Col. Carl Yates says a man was shot after a sheriff's deputy attempted to serve a felony warrant at a home nearby. The man was asked by a deputy to provide identification and instead of doing that, he fled in a pickup truck and ended up at the scene on Poplar Level Road. Two sheriff's deputies caught up with the man and when they did, he exited the vehicle with a knife and that's when shots were fired. Yates says the deputies felt threatened.
